Hi, First time posting about RAW. Here's the link to the video: https://vimeo.com/100362084
All clips other than the obvious GoPro and most photos are shot on the 5d mark iii in RAW 24fps at 1080x1920.
My workflow on a Macbook Pro 15" screen was as follows:
RAW
> DNG (using either raw2dng or RAWMagic Lite - side note, some RAW files couldn't convert at all, sometimes one program could convert what the other couldn't)
> color grade in Lightroom
> export as jpg files set to 1000K maximum file size – little benefit to going beyond 1000K
> make mov file using Quicktime 7 Pro
> import to Premiere Pro
> export with the following settings:
Match Source - high bit rate
Profile: High
Render at Maximum Depth
VBR, 2 pass
Target 25
Maximum 30
Key Frame Distance: 1
Use Maximum Render Quality
After I exported the video now on vimeo, I also exported with Target 45 and Maximum 50, because I wanted to decrease noise, most noticeable in the gray jacket and other darker areas. I didn't realize the extent of the noise problem until I viewed the video on a much larger TV screen. I then got Neat video to deal with the noise, but either I'm not using it well or it didn't seem to make much of a difference. My last option, and major time commitment, would be to reexport each clip after eliminating as much noise as acceptable in Lightroom. Luckily I would not need to reedit the video as the mov files would be replaced in the source folder and Premiere would simply link to the new files because of the same name.
I've never seen anyone use my workflow exactly, so I hope it's not plain stupid and that's why o one does it this way, but I never got around to learning Da Vinci Resolve or After Effects, the most common two programs I've come across used by others with RAW Magic Lantern.
Thank you for your input,
Armin
